COACH
Former therapist. Human-behavior obsessive. Bravo psychoanalyst.
I’ve spent nearly two decades studying why humans think, feel, choose, avoid, repeat and react the way we do. Somewhere along the way, I learned that understanding yourself changes a whole lot more than your relationships. It changes how you work, parent, lead, rest, spend, eat, love and live.
Then I help you make sense of how the pieces fit together.
Give me the pieces. I’ll find the pattern.
WHAT I’M REALLY GOOD AT
My brain connects things quickly.
You might come in talking about your business and somehow we end up at your relationship with success. Or you think you need better boundaries and I notice that you haven’t consistently prioritized your own basic needs in six months.
I listen for what you’re saying, what you’re doing, what your body is doing, and what keeps repeating.
is my roman empire.
Human Behavior
actually... that's a fun story.
That question has followed me through graduate school, traditional therapy, nervous system work, subconscious work, my own panic attacks, relationships, perimenopause, and nearly two decades of working with actual humans.
Every time I found a gap in what I knew, I went looking for the missing piece.
Which is pretty much how we got here.
Knowing better and doing better are two very different things.
So, here’s the lore...
So I built my own way.
“I want to be a life coach.”
I walked away from licensure.
the human behavior obsession begins.
casually about to walk away from it all...
I started my business and created the freedom to help people outside the traditional therapy system.
Nearly finished, I refused to build my career around diagnosing everyone who walked through my door.
I announced it in grad school. People laughed. I went on to earn two master's degrees anyway.
Marriage & Family Therapy. Mental Health Therapy. And one big question: Why do we know better and still repeat the same shit?

living, learning & it was all starting to stick.
true joy, full life & helping other women.
Some patterns still wouldn't budge.
NOW I CONNECT THE PIECES
And then hormones entered the chat.
i became my own case study
Therapy, nervous system work, subconscious change, and nearly two decades studying humans. All of it comes into the room.
Perimenopause sent me reeling and added another piece to everything I understood about women and our bodies.
Understanding anxiety wasn't enough. My own panic attacks sent me deep into nervous system work.
That led me into subconscious change and helped shape the approach I use with clients today.

If I’m going to ask you to try something, I want to understand what it feels like from your side of the room too.
YES, THERE ARE CREDENTIALS
I have, in fact, studied the shit out of this.

Practical Magic. I will never get tired of the Owens sisters, that house, or a little bit of witchy magic.

After doing the work of showing up for myself... when the right relationship came along, I was ready to show up for that, too.

My happy place involves analyzing Bravo characters with my best friend, who also happens to be a therapist I’ve known since second grade.

Foster fail. Dog > cats. I fostered Murphy over Valentine’s weekend in 2022 after losing my first dog, Lucy, a few months earlier. Murphy was born the day Lucy died, because apparently the universe enjoys a plot twist.

A few things you should probably know.
Off the Clock
WHY ANY OF THIS MATTERS
You need to know what applies
You don’t need more information.
You need to know what applies
I tend to work with women who have already done a lot of learning themselves.
You know the buzzwords. You’ve read the books. You’ve taken the classes. You can probably explain exactly why you do half the shit you do.
You’re just tired of still doing it.
My job is to help you see what you haven’t been able to see from inside your own life, figure out what’s actually keeping the pattern in place, and help you change it.
